Coming to IBM changed Gerstner’s outlook on how important culture factors in to the success of a company. He states “until I came to IBM, I probably would have told you that culture was just one among several important elements in any organization’s makeup and success—along with vision, strategy, marketing, financials, and the like” but later states “I came to see, in my time at IBM, that culture isn’t just one aspect of the game—it is the game” (Gerstner, 2002, pg. 181-2). Cultural change at IBM
International Business Machines, better known as IBM, is one of the worlds largest technology companies, currently ranking at number twenty in the fortune five-hundred. IBM was founded by Thomas J. Watson, not from scratch, but through the merging of three, already prominent, computer companies. IBM distinguished itself, not only through selling products, but primarily through research and development. IBM is currently one of the forerunners in the burgeoning field of internet clouds.

Named after IBM’s first CEO Thomas J. Watson, Watson is a supercomputer able to answer questions posed in natural language. It first became famous in early 2011 for beating a couple of the best players of Jeopardy in a 3 day streak game. He beat Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the first had 74 winnings in a row and the second had earned a total of $3.25 million. At the time Watson was about the size of a room. It was hot and very noisy because of the cooling systems. He was represented in the room
Watson, a computer that can demonstrate its capabilities using natural language which can understand and answer questions as quickly as possible by quickly searching within its large scale data base and choosing out the vital words that right answer to the questions. Watson can do more than just answer questions in a game but rather be useful in any types of business and can also be used for scientific research and discoveries. With its growing platform, developers have been enhancing its capabilities
IBM Watson is a highly debated technology in the computing industry. According to Wagle (2013), Watson is a supercomputer, which was developed by IBM. The accepted definition of a supercomputer is a computer that is at the high end of processing capability. (Wagle K, 2013). IBM Watson combines together a set of transformational technologies to drive optimised outcomes. The research and development involved with IBM Watson is aiming at creating a super computer that can understand human speech. As
January 1915, Bell was invited to make the first transcontinental phone call. From New York, he spoke with his former associate Thomas Watson in San Francisco. ”

C-T-R soon found itself struggling do to over diversification of its product. In 1914 Thomas J. Watson, Sr. was brought in to help homogenize the company. He succeeded to turn the company around in just 11 months and redirected its focus to producing large-scale, custom-built tabulating solutions for businesses and left the rest of their former endeavors to the competition. Over the next four years, with Watson at the helm, the company’s revenues doubled and expanded operations to Europe, South America
Watson: The Extraordinary Computer. Technology has been able to make life easier and more comfortable for humans, plants and animals. Artificial Intelligence on the other hand has been able to solve some problems beyond human capacity. Artificial intelligence alongside natural intelligence is what Stephen Hawking uses for his creative thinking and to communicate. Artificial intelligence is more than just computers and software. Over the years, computers have been developed in terms of size, shape

first invention of the telegraph. Today, these technologies have become essential to everyday life of Americans. Without these inventions, life today would not be as we now know it. We rely so much on instantaneous news and information, the cell phone, e-mail, the Internet, GPS technology, and so much more. These communications are central to most civilizations today, and it would be near impossible to get through life as we do without these services, mostly the telephone.
till about the year 1874 when Mr. Bell started work on the phone to send multiple telegraph messages at one time. This device would take a telegraph line to transfer the human voice from one place to another. For this job he hired a man named Thomas A. Watson, electrical designer. Second, the way this machine works is that the transmitter was in one room with metal strings attached to the device. Which looked like a cone connected to metal strings. Those strings would stretch out of the room to a

With the economy still poor, there was widespread discontent with the two existing major political parties
positions in the life of the world, the functions that cryptography provides (including secrecy, integrity, and digital signatures) become more important, and cryptographic functions can be found in more places, doing more things.” (Morar, Chess, & Watson) As the commerce and communication continue to move, forward with computer networks the use of cryptography will become more vital. “The cryptography now on the market does not provide the level of security it advertises.
